‘Holi Aayi re’--- 70s movie shot in Belonwala- Doonga

There was a film that was released in 1970, which starred Balraj Sahni, Mala Sinha and Shatrughan Sinha, "Holi Aayee Re." It may have not done well when released but the story was based on a man and a woman who get involved in a moment of passion on "Holi," which leads the woman to become pregnant and leads to tragedy when the father of the girl kills the man and is arrested and the girl's mother is killed in an accident. However, the young girl tries to kill herself but then is saved and has to look after her young brother.

Mala Sinha’s co actor was some non entity called Parkash Thapa..

………..But more than that. An Entire song was picturised in scenic locale of my ‘Belonwala’ and ‘Doonga’ the village next door, there used to be a pine plantation over a small hillock now its replaced by Euclyptus trees(Signs of time) and our own ‘Choudhary’( Local landlord who lost lordship when we won independence and now live in famous ‘Dunga house’ hotel) I think he was called as told by Ma and Pa ‘Munna’ who played a small bit of a flute playing shepherd in that song, I think Choudhary had developed Bollywood fixation and lost great amount as one of the financier…anyhow its all hearsay but thing is Belonwala does qualify to be filmi location like Switzerland.
